Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 due to Samira's superior all-in potential and Tahm's engage threat, but your range advantage keeps trades manageable.
  • Post-6 you still struggle as Samira's R combined with Tahm's R dive potential outmatches your utility.

Synergy & Trading

  • Use W to root either enemy when Brand lands Q, then follow with Q bounce for maximum damage while staying at max range.
  • Focus on poking with Q bounces off minions when Brand's abilities are on cooldown to maintain pressure.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Push early waves to establish range advantage and ward river, then maintain slow pushes to keep Samira from freely engaging.
  • Avoid hard shoving without vision as Tahm's W engage range can catch you during CS attempts.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Never use W aggressively without Brand's follow-up ready, as Samira can easily dash to you and force an unfavorable trade.
  • Don't greed for fourth shot trades when Tahm has W available, as the devour into Samira combo will kill you.
